What I usually do is set the form action to the same page as the above
code is applied to. Then I add an if statement at the top that checks the
login and redirects you to another page if login is successful. I think
you might want to give a name to your submit button as well, something
easy like name='submit'.
Then something like this at the top of the page:
if (isset($_POST["submit"])) {
...get user's password from database...
if ($_POST["password"] == $db["password"]) {
header("Location:members/index.php");
exit;
}
}
So if the login fails, they'll still be sitting at the login page. The
above code needs to be set before any HTML code, else the redirect won't
work.
